Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Olimpico will be the centre of attention when AS Roma and Bologna, the two Champions-League-chasing teams, face each other in the Serie A round 33. The Romans are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground, but Monday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Evan Ndicka should miss out with heart problems, while forward Sardar Azmoun is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into goals in a goalless draw with Monza and they face yet another difficult task against Roma, who are tough to beat at home. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the horizon as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment. All Lewis Ferguson, Jens Odgaard, and Adama Soumaoro are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
